Not like they could really get rid of me even if they wanted to, but I do want to maintain a classy image.
[ he says as he scrolls through some selfies of him in a weeb yukata with a kid behind him who looks almost identical to him except green and unexpressive? ]
Haha... well, it doesn't really work like that; we were never physically born in the first place, and never had a mother.

The eight of us began as concepts thousands of years ago, and gradually developed personal egos and gained physical bodies. Which I imagine must sound pretty ridiculous to you.
Well, it's not that it doesn't have an effect on me, but that I can passively use my power to counteract it. I have limits, though, so I can't maintain that same level of resistance if I'm expending too much power elsewhere.
[ like personally keeping up a barrier around the gate to hell for months on end. side effects: looking like shit when some dude barges in on you in the bath. ]
Thinking about how you've describe that kind of deteriorating? That's an understatement. [ ... ] Even if you have to focus on something else, can you still undo the damage later or does some of it stick?
I can! Our process of regeneration heals deterioration wounds just like any other; it's just a matter of which outpaces which. And regeneration takes a lot longer when I can't dedicate as much power to it.
[ he is definitely still trying to eyeball the pictures on the phone all through this, for reference. i keep forgetting mephisto is like 6'4" so this is probably kinda funny. ]

You give off more of an only child vibe, honestly. [ pause. ] I guess it's different for non-humans.

So you all just... formed into physical beings over time and went from there?

And Amaimon's current body is one of Section 13's rare successes.

anyway! back to scrolling for mepphyland pics. ]

no, no. feel free to back up a second here. while he’s just piecing together the familial connections in his head. ]
And you?
[ in terms of rare successes, where does he fall? ]

Perk of being the King of Time. Light and earth aren't so helpful in that department.

[ king of time. ]
So, deterioration doesn't have an effect on you, but your siblings are a whole other story. That's how it goes?
